Re: Ex Intel Chief Clapper warns of more Russian hacking ahead!

Rk-- I am responding to your post. You're the one who mentioned the DNC hacking. Show me proof that the Russians were hacking into our security systems and that Obama did nothing I'd like to see that.

With regard to when did you admit that there was hacking, I suggest you read your own post.

Sorry, but Trump seems to be "your guy." Obama was mine.

I mentioned the DNC hacking because that is the only specific political hacking that we know of. We have been told there were efforts, we have been told of "interference" - but only in the DNC situation could we see exactly what was hacked - the rest is speculation.

On the other hand, as I pointed out, there has been hacking into American companies for quite awhile and I wondered why there wasn't a lot of excitement about that. So, upon your advise, I did read my own posts and, as you can see above, they were incredibly insightful and accurate.

No, Trump is not "my guy" and that other childish stuff some like to post "your idol", "you love him" and so on simply does not apply to me.

Re: Ex Intel Chief Clapper warns of more Russian hacking ahead!

easyed--To say that Russian has engaged in cyber hacking in 20 other countries and that we are also involved in the same, very much reminds me of trump's response to O'Reilly when reminded that Putin is a killer--"Oh, and you think we're so good? You think we've never killed anybody?"

It was an incredulous thing to say, and so is your reasoning with regard to US cyber espionage. This is not a child's game where one child say of another, well, he did it to. Unless you can prove otherwise, I am confident that we have never tried to skew the elections of another country.

Clapper let us know that this is very serious, that it will get worse. Obama was not a friend to Netanyau. by the way. The one chumming up to him is your guy. Putin's 78% favorability rating is a joke. Putin kills those who disagree with him.

Re: Ex Intel Chief Clapper warns of more Russian hacking ahead!

RK--Clapper did say that Russia has been interfering with Americans previously. But, he added that this last election was the most flagrant and warned unless it was dealt with, it would get worse.

It is nice that you are finally admitting that there was Russian interference in the 2016 election--finally. You have no idea as to what was being done under Obama--none. But, if you want to talk about what "Obama didn't do about Russian interference, provide one credible piece to support your accusations.

But, what we do know that "your guy" is that this idiot actually invited Russian hacking.

DNC activity within its own party, has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, but is, instead, just another way to throw attention away from the subject matter at hand.

You will note one thing with regard to DNC--no one from the DNC is under federal investigation for colluding with a foreign power--but that cannot be said for trump and those surrounding him.

BIG PICTURE? Yeah, we've got it--not only is this administration corrupt and inept--they have invited it in.

From the AP: Adm. Mike Rogers, head of the U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, says the U.S. is working with France and Germany to counter disinformation campaigns during elections. (May 9)

Rogers also said the U.S. is still working on a comprehensive cyber policy to counter what he called a “brave new world” in the cyber domain. He said the United States is improving its ability to defend against cyberattacks, but “I would also tell myself, Rogers you are not moving fast enough.

So the US Military is calling for more money / action on CyberSecurity....I wonder if our donald supporters will listen to them - because it is after all DEFENSE, or will they remain in denial about the US election being overloaded with Russian Fake News ( that was promoted by Alt-Right / bots).

Fear not - the Really Wise (RW) side of the equation are able to take the big picture and understand that hacking is and has been a major problem (ignored by the previous Administration). They are also able to see the big picture as to the billions of annual cost to our businesses - as opposed to merely exposing the DNC's corruption of their own primaries. Based on that they are able to properly prioritize the problem.
